Scott,

Skinwalker with its 4.5 draft uses the Dismal going and coming.  The speed
limit is 6 mph in the swamp and that seems too fast when your there.  You
might thump a  dead head once in a while but at that speed it usually is not a
great problem; take it slow & easy.  I personally have had more trouble going
the other route with shallows then I have had with the Dismal Swamp thumps.
I especially enjoy the south end between the lock and Elizabeth City--simply
beautiful.

Bones,
